Chapter 148: Arkham Knight's Redemption
Even if it was a trap, in order to save people, Eric had to break through.
Use the grappling gun to fly to the roof of the military dormitory building.
Like black lightning, it fell from the sky.
pat!
Steady footsteps landed behind August who was standing on the edge of the rooftop.
Eric squatted and got up slowly.
Looking at this villain who is still in the rain, addicted to pretending.
Eric took out his bat dart and aimed it at August, who was motionless.
"Kneel down for me, August, now!"
The scarecrow in the world of black robes did not turn around and was bathed in the dark night.
He didn't seem surprised that Eric had arrived so soon.
"Batman, you really did it. You escaped unscathed from the net of Arkham Knights, it's amazing! I used to doubt you, but now, I must admit, you are a respectable opponent. "
He seems to be complimenting Eric.
"Turn around and hand over Ms. Laura Lane, I won't say the same thing again."
Eric raised the bat dart in his hand.
"Why are you out of tune with this world?"
He still didn't turn his head, and said in an unhurried voice: "Make a movie, do an endorsement, and then make a speech tour, this is your way of being a decent superhero. Why do you have to cover your face and be a dark night without any pay? knight?"
Eric didn't expect this guy to have the time to ask this.
"That's not your concern, August, hand over Laura."
"Oh, you look in a hurry, just right, my time is almost up."
He turned around, the black skull mask was hidden under the hood, and the dark eyes watched Eric calmly.
Then, the elevator door opened slowly, and two heavily armed mercenaries came out with Laura Lane, whose hands were tied.
The moment Lola saw Batman, she was refreshed.
She tried to speak to Batman, but could only whimper because her mouth was gagged.
Her heart was pounding with excitement.
I originally thought that I was just a small character, a character who had only seen one side of Batman, but Batman may not remember himself.
I never thought that the other party would really come to save me!
Laura's mood was so turbulent that it almost made her want to cry.
"Don't think about doing anything useless, Batman."
August seems to have insight into the eager Eric.
"My chip is not only this beautiful reporter, but also an unexpected, absolutely unexpected chip."
August said slowly: "The missile launcher on the east coast is equipped with a small missile. But don't underestimate it, he can make the whole New York go to death!"
"This is my plan. Even if the Arkham Knights fail, I can completely control the situation."
August, who seemed to feel he was in control, walked towards Eric, who was covered in black armor, "A new neurotoxin, a combination of toxins born from my body and neurotoxins of artificial chemical agents. It only takes a few kilograms to take advantage of the spread of rain and cover the whole of New York City."
"The Scarecrow" proudly stated his final plan.
"Now......"
He looked at his watch. "There are less than ten minutes to launch, what will you do?"
August looked at Eric with interest, "This neurotoxin can cause people to fall into hallucinations, movement disorders and even brain damage. It's - very dangerous!"
"Scarecrow" finally walked to Eric's side and said in a lower voice.
"If you want to save the city or her, then you have to hold your hands!"
"no...no..."
Laura had heard what August said to Eric, and she looked at Eric with almost praying eyes.
Go stop the missile launch!
This is what she wants to say the most.
One's own life and death is only a tiny fraction of the life and death of millions of people.
New York City has her own family and friends, and she doesn't want to see them hurt.
August slowly took out his pistol and pointed it at Laura, "I'd love to stop the missile launch, but you'll lose a beautiful journalist lady."
Eric took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, folded them together, and aimed at August.
"Don't hurt Ms. Laura Lane, I promise your terms."
"Promise me? That's a dead end? I have to say, you made a wise choice."
August clapped his hands and walked over with a camera under his hand.
"I want all the people of New York to see that their hero, in order to decide to save the city, oh, and a beautiful journalist lady, is determined to give up his Batman status."
He motioned to his men to tie Eric, "People all over the world will see your trembling face, and they will see clearly how you lost that mask and crawl under my fear poison."
"It won't end with your plan, August."
Eric still spoke in a calm tone.
He didn't say it casually.
The general development of things is not out of his controlThe Scarecrow is carrying out his plan, and the plan arranged by Eric is also going on at the same time.
August grabbed Eric's armor and looked him in the eyes, "Enough to pretend, but it's too late. They'll see your real face."
August points to the camera.
The camera has started recording.
Batman instantly appeared on all interactive media in New York City, building advertising screens, the Internet, TV channels.
The citizens of New York City clearly saw the scene on the rooftop.
"This is Batman!"
August stood in front of the camera and pointed at Eric, who was tied up. "Seven minutes later, a strategic missile carrying neurotoxins will land in New York. Mr. Batman is determined to save the city and this beautiful reporter, Willing to lift his mask in exchange for the safety of the city and the beautiful reporter."
While talking, he pushed Lola to Eric's side.
"Now, take off your mask and let everyone see your failed eyes!"
August held a gun and ordered Eric.
At the same time, Starlight's voice came from Ariel's radio, "Batman, the '**clearance plan' has been completed!"
Eric heard Xingguang's voice, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Sorry, I'm afraid you won't be able to get your wish."
"what?"
"Look behind you!"
As soon as Eric's voice fell, the gunshot of "Bang Bang" sounded.
The roar of gunfire pierced the calm of the rainy night.
Several of August's men were shot and all fell to the ground dead.
With a startled expression, he looked back.
It was a guy with a red overlay helmet standing at one end of the rooftop with a gun pointed at him.
It was his former partner, the Arkham Knight.
